Player agents are also a huge source of information. I think when Woj tweets out that a trade has happened but doesn't have the details yet, those are often coming from player agents because they dont actually know all the details, they just know their player got traded. That's my theory at least

Stop being disrespectful. Jokic has only been out of the first round of the playoffs with Jamal Murray closing out games. Kobe has led multiple deep runs as the guy. The whole league is better offensively. Jokic has to learn how to get a stop before he can be mentioned with Kobe.

Kobe had Shaq for 3 of his chips, Bird's team had the greatest frontcourt of all time. Hell, Magic and Kareem are in most people's top-10 and they played with each other. Jokic's 2nd-best player is Jamal Murray, a 0x all-star, who frequently gets injured.
